Retro Toy Chest: Remember Zzzoom It? (1971)

Mattel was experimenting with all kinds of game toys in the early 70's, but this next item is something I don't remember ever seeing as a child.

Zzzoom It was released in 1971, but I'm not so sure about a long life span. I'd say maybe a year at the very minimum. What Mattel was looking to do was develop something for the boys to complement their popular Barbie line for girls.

Dick Tufeld is the narrator.

I would think Hot Wheels already fit that description you made, but who knows.

Hot Wheels was already established, but I think they were aiming for something that wasn't related to that brand.
